Opportunity has seasons as surely as hardship does. Wisdom includes recognizing w hen a moment is ripe enough to act. The line is not reckless. It joins timing with courage. Some openings are lost not through hostility, but through hesitation that cannot read the water well. Its endurance lies in that marriage of discernment and movement. Fortune here belongs to those who can see the tide and answer it.
